Poochella was great!
We were at Poochella on the 6th and it was a great time. So many pooches with their owners checking out all the competition. The small dog race was fierce if unfocused. There were trainers there, groomers, boarders, and more. Coffee and cookies for the owners and plenty of treats for the pooches. Our Maxx Traffic Leashes were a big hit, and we sold some dog toys too. Mid June is the time for our Strawberry Festival: https://www.marysvillestrawberryfest.com/. That means veggie and berry season is here. Looking forward to all the tasty stir frys and more. We love getting mushrooms and beef at the market. Find us in Arlington on the 20th for the pet parade. Looking forward to being there for the first time. The Anacortes Farmers Market has had a good start with the new market area. We have more skater whatchamacallits out and our online store to jncmerch.com is up and running. You can still find us at urbanmerlin.net. Create your own leash there and explore more this season.

Streamlined
We have made changes to our site and market setup to streamline the customize option. We love making custom items and want to make it easy for all. We have improved our displays for market days. This way you can see all our current stock but what colors and connecters we have.
Buddiez
Our new Buddiez are out for summer. They have fun new looks and are ready to brighten your day. Stop by and take home a little green alien from the booth. See our current creations or design and create your own on the website: jncmerch.com.

The Maxx Leash
Our full size Maxx leash is adjustable, comfortable, plus light and stylish. We use the Paramax cord that is thicker than 550 but more than twice as strong. Made with a comfortable handle, you can keep it in the car, but it may just end up being your daily walker.
More to come!
The year is just getting started and we are in more markets this year. Getting ourselves out to more spots helps us create new products. Besides our leashes, handles and collectibles we plan to add more. Dog pull toys have been rolled out and are getting interest.
Lots of colors available only at the market for now. Remember that we have marine quality connectors for those summer days on the beach. We are testing adjustable collars now and hope to have those out soon. This has been awhile in the making. We wanted to find a great design and be able to source the quality goods we need.
Find our stuff at the new merch store!
We have completed the move to jncmerch.com, you can still find some things at urbanmerin.net but going forward we will be sharing at jncmerch.com. Look for sales for our 250th this 4th and more all summer long.

Berry Season Begins!
As we step into Summer 2026, our commitment to innovation and quality products remains at the forefront. Over the past month, we have received positive feedback on the new Maxx Traffic Leashes. We had a great day last month at the Skagit Plant Fair and look forward to being in Marysville for the PetPalloza on the 6th. Berry season is in full swing with strawberries, raspberries and marionberries at the market. Along with great veggies and more. Anacortes Farmers Market is adding more vendors this year. The whatchamacallits will be out with new outfits and rides. We are moving our online store to jncmerch.com this month, to better align with our market presence. You can still find Urban Merlin merch at urbanmerlin.net . New products will roll out this summer.

New Maxx Traffic Leashes are a Hit!
We are thrilled with the response, our new leashes are selling fast. They were just ready at the end of the last market and we had them out for winter markets. We are at more markets this season so come check them out.
Whatchamacallitz
We have new whatchamacallitz out this year. New skateboarders and Monster Truckers, plus construction workers and more. Being creative with our creatures are fun and additive. Make sure you look at our Etsy site: www.etsy.com/shop/UrbanMerlinShop? To see what we have available now.
Maxx Traffic Leash
For the times you need to keep them close.
_______________________________________________________
The Maxx Traffic Leash
It is made for times where you need to have maximum control of your animal without excess rope. We use the same Maxx rope only shorter. Made with a comfortable handle, you can keep it in the car or bag for quick deployment at the vet or park.
Whatchamacallitz
Our cute collectibles! Check them out at the market or on Etsy. These go quickly and we have been making more. Too special to sell at our website since each one is one of a kind, even when we make a large amount they all come out unique. Now they come in mystery boxes for a fun surprise gift. We use wood cores so you can easily ship them. New lines come out often so check back regularly.
Find our stuff at the new merch store!
We are moving online sales to jncmerch.com to align with our market presence. Our dog products line has really taken over and we want to eliminate any confusion. Urbanmerlin.net will still have separate items and solutions but all future Just in Case merch will be on this site. Changes to Urbanmerlin.net will happen over the next few weeks. Check back often!
